Doctor Patient Rights?


Can a dortor or any medical staff report any meds that I as a patient am taking and My DR has given me a DRs release and also stated I can work 12 hrs a day / 7 days a week at my descrition with no limitations can the place I am reporting to for employment be notified of any prescibed presriptions

If the drugs are illegal and you have not got a prescription for them, "yes".

But do the doctors have time to report all the drug abusers in the ER: no they are too busy trying to save lives.

Not without your consent

yes i think so

No they can not, unless you give them permission but by signing that relaease, they may be able to obtain limited information. It's against the HIPPA law of the heath care industry.

No they cannot. They can only tell them you have a medical condition preventing you from certain types of work. You have to sign releases for them to even allow another Dr. from another office to review your files. Like if you wanted a second opinion or wanted to switch Drs. You even have to sign papers if they want you for a study group.

yes i think so.
